Marvel: Unforgettable Stories is a 280-page slipcase hardcover featuring ten classic Marvel stories ranging from the Silver Age to the company's recent past.

“Jordan Blum and I—both lifelong comics readers and ‘make mine Marvel’ fanatics—had a hard time picking only ten stories for this collection,” writes Oswalt in his introduction. “I can hear the bleats and rumblings of, ‘But you didn’t include . . .’ and ‘How could you forget . . .’ Lemme save your vocal cords the stress—you’re right. Any objections you have to any stories being passed over? You’re right. There’s simply too many to print under one cover. Hey, maybe buy this edition, and get all of your friends to buy one, and they’ll let us pick ten more! Capitalism!”
Marvel: Unforgettable Stories is priced at $100 and will be released on November 27, 2025. You can preorder a copy on The Folio Society website.
